Many of us believe that Nobody belly dances better than the original 'item' girl, Helen, and this is nearly true too. The dancer and actress sputtered in the 1960s and 1970s in films like Don, Howrah Bridge, Teersi Manzil and Caravan. She has performed fabulously in these movies. She twisted her hips in the Mehbooba Mehbooba song from the classic Sholay, distracting the alarmed bandit Gabbar Singh and the audience as well. The song and the dance took away hearts of many and dozens of people simply loved the moves.

Now, Mallika Sherawat takes on the original in Himesh Reshammiya's upcoming film, Aap Ka Surroor. She is performing in the very same song, re-sung again. Mallika has also put in her belly dancing capabilities in this song. Looking lovely in green, the outspoken actress bends and shakes her hips to Reshammiya's performance of Mehbooba.

Now the question arises as to who performed better in this song? Will Mallika draw the attention of even more people or will Helen still rock people’s hearts in the same manner? Mallika has got fame because of her gorgeous body and figure. Despite of having poor acting skills, she still is one of the highest paid actress and takes in large amount of money in small roles. Now, the viewers can choose as in who has truly rocked the song Mehbooba? Is it the original belly dancer Helen or is it Mallika? The latest version is no doubt hitting the charts and attracting large number of fans.
